ERÇEN TUTKAL
HYBRID-PVA • MODIFIED STARCH
Erçen Tutkal was established in 1975 by two visionary engineers.
With 43 years of experience in the paper sector, we are one of the oldest adhesive producers in the Turkish paper bonding industry.
In the 1970’s at a time when the Turkish economy was dominated by state owned enterprises, our customers included:
- State owned sugar factories,
- The State Supply Office,
- All TEKEL (the tobacco and alcohol monopoly) cigarette factories.
As the private sector took off in the 1980’s, we adapted to the new business environment and became the leading adhesive supplier to all the major private sector firms.
We started production in 1975 with a 720 tons/year capacity. By the late 1980’s, we had increased this to 3.600 tons/year. In 2010, our production capacity reached 18.000 tons/year.
We currently have a production capacity of 42.000 tons/year.
We are a family owned company. Since 2010, the second generation of the family has taken on management of the company, leading to additional emphasis on differentiating our products through innovation and attempts to expand into international markets.
Erçen Tutkal produces 27 different types of paper bonding adhesives including the revolutionary Hybrid-PVA and K series adhesives.
